Can someone also tell me a web site from where I can download a free trial copy perhaps of this version of acrobat reader that is user friendly with jfw 7.1? I have a bunch of pdf files that I would like to read using jaws. I also have openbook I think version 7. Is there a way I can import each of these pdf files into openbook and use the o.c.r recognition software in openbook 7 to make these pdf files user friendly readable with one of the software voices in openbook? Any help on these questions I have about acrobat reader program and the openbook questions would be very much appreciative. frustgrated pdf files reader Hank Merchant Jr.
